I TRIED THIS BOSCH PLANNER ON SOME SCRAP 3/4" PINE JUST TO TRY IT OUT. IT AMAZED ME HOW FAST IT WAS AND LEFT A SMOOTH FINISH THAT REALLY DIDN'T NEEDTO BE SANDED.MY HAND PLANES ARE PROBABLY OBSOLETE UNLESS THERE'SNO POWER AVAILABLE.

I don't use this planer often, but when I do, it saves hours of hand tool work, especially while working in awkward positions. The fence is easy to adjust and the planer has very fine increments for depth adjustments.

This is my third or fourth Bosch planer. As a professional carpenter, I use one a lot.This new model is a little different than my previous ones. My last Bosch planer had a feature that was a neat idea, but in practice fell a little short. It had a reversible chip ejector, but it clogged up real easy.My first assignment with the new planer was 1 1/2" wide poplar. I set the depth at 1/16" and let er' rip. No problem, no struggle, smooth finish, and excellent chip ejection.The new Bosch planer seems heavier and bigger than my last one, but still not heavy enough to make it difficult to use. I expect that greater weight to equal greater durability, but only time will tell.The controls of the tool are easy to use, and the handle allows for excellent grip and control.I am happy with my purchase and would recommend this tool highly.

Although purchased as reconditioned, it appeared in "as new" condition. It is powerful, easy to use, and convenient. It planed cherry like it was balsa. The bag caught all of the shavings, which any planer will throw off in abundance. Bosch makes quality products and this planer is no exception.

I have had other planers in the past but this one actually works and exceeds my expectations. I have leveled some very rough wood with it without taking very deep cuts. My experience is Bosch tools perform and last.

While it was billed as a 'factory reconditioned' tool, it appeared to be brand new. The bag had not been used and the accessories were still sealed in the bag. I've tried the tool and it meets all my expectations.

For my casual use this is an excellent product for the money. You will not mistake it for a $700 power planer, but for less than $60 it is by far a better dollar value for the occasional or casual user. My main complaint is the same as with most corded power tools. There is no neat way to wrap up the power cord. Somehow the power cord issue was solved long ago for vacuum sweepers.

I originally bought a reconditioned Ryobi. It was junk so I returned it for refund. Then I ordered this one. Dissapointed again. The front shoe was not flt. Rear shoe did not allign with front shoe! I lapped the front shoe on emery paper to get it flat. Next I used washers under the rear shoe mounting screws to get the front and rear shoes in allignment. Works good now, but this should have been fixed at the factory. I have purchaced many other reconditioned tools from another source and always had good luck with them.

Bought this for a specific project (a wide lamination and it worked great. I've used a similar Makita in the past and after having used that I knew I needed a power planer in my tool collection. Usual Bosch quality. No problems there. The single blade design works well and replacements are cheap. Ding a blade? No problem. They are as cheap as sandpaper.

I did have some difficulty with softwood ejecting on its own. It'd be nice if an adapter wasn't required to hook up your average shopvac (or it was included). Had I known I would have purchased one at the same time.

Bought it about 3 months ago, was intimidated by the product, because I had never used one before. Tried it on a couple of 2x4 and it was a breeze. Took down two bathroom doors which had swelled up and fixed them in 15 minutes. Now the field has opened.

I was able to plane the first door in five minutes, the second door was completed four minutes later. The exact right tool with its included guide finished this home project ten years in the contemplation.

The single blade design is actually really nice. After changing blades several times and not having to worry about aligning two different blades it became apparent that this is an improvement on planer design in my opinion. I have read of people having problems with the blade cutting different depths on left and right sides of the plane. The only time I have noticed mine doing so was after changing blades and was easily corrected by removing dust and debris from the blade slot in the rotor which was keeping the blade from resting evenly across the blade channel or from me tightening the set screws fully on one side before the other, rather than snugging up each set screw until both are engaged with the blade before final tightening. I probably have abused my planer by using it to level 1000 square feet (300 square meters) of 60 year old red oak hardwood flooring which was cupped and warped but it has impressed me as the motor may have gotten somewhat hot but didn't make any magic smoke. I was keeping fresh blades in it and running it all day long but I wouldn't have been surprised at all to have burned up a tool with that project. It turned out to be faster than a flooring drum sander with 24 grit rolls and has paid for itself on one job. I was able to follow it up directly with 150 grit rolls for final sand with the sander in order to get out any slight ridges and finish the flooring much more quickly than I had first anticipated. I noticed the depth control was capable of getting deeper than several of the other planers in it's class and it is very easy to use and didn't twist out of it's setting during use on me. The dust collection works great even when a dust collection system isn't attached. The planer won't push everything into the bag but I don't believe any planer will collect everything. I would conservatively estimate this one will get about 95% into the bag. One thing I have been noticing about my tool collection is that the Bosch tools typically have the longest power cords. This tool has a very long pliable cord which I find to be a great feature. I am very conscious of ergonomics and had no complaints on this after using it for so many hours straight through. Although for my personal taste, very thin grips are the most comfortable, even with my medium to large hands, and play a large part of my tool purchasing choices. This tool doesn't have a particularly small handle but it is designed with good ergonomics.

I spent years tuning, sharpening and learning to use a hand plane. I am pretty good at it. I bought the power planer to flatten some 2x4 walls before tiling them. what I did not expect was how well this thing works. AWESOME. Love it.

I had to install wood trim on the inside of new vinyl windows that arrived without frames. The trim measured different sizes in width so it was easy to install the wood and then plane the edges down to size. But watch out...this little planer would chew up an oak tree in minutes. I love it.

I was a little skeptical of a single blade planer, but no problems at all. I use the planer a lot, and blades are very affordable. My previous brand planed had 2 blades, didn't work as well and cost 5 times as much to replace the blades. Very happy.

The accuracy and easy of use makes this planner a joy to use.The thought that has gone into its design has resulted in the most advanced planer in the market.The single blade gives the best finish possible and coupled with its index cut depth its gives a precise and superior finish.

I finally replaced an older planer and was surprised how well this unit worked. It has very good depth control. The weight is sufficient for stock removal, but light enough to use it for long periods. Mine came with the beveling guide and it is engineered as a match to the unit, very sturdy. The chip bag works fine, but I usually attach it to my vortex shop vac.I had to look for attachments for the vac to fit the chip outlet. It would be nice if tool manufactors would supply the proper standard fitting or outlet size that directly fits a 1 1/4" vac hose.

Excellent planer from Bosch. Easy to control and the blade mount looked very easy to make speedy blade changes. Tyler Toolis awesome to deal with and I had this within three days of ordering. Condition - looked new, blades brand new, dust bag looked new. It was as if it was a brand new tool. Thanks Tyler Tool!

Trying to adjust the old fashioned hand planers is a thing of the past. I just love the ability to start at a very thin plane level, and let the cutter head do the work. Can't find a single thing I don't like about this tool. Only wish there was a carry case a available for this tool.

First off, I want to say that i have many BOSCH tools and love them all! The company backs their products 100%! I purchased this portable planer mainly to even out panels that I glue up to make large custom wooden signs. The machine is like new, clean and works like a gem! Arrived in a couple days. I have already tried this out on some glued up cedar and hem/fir panels and have saved myself lots of time sanding with a belt sander. The adjustment knobs are easy to use and user friendly. I can't say enouh about ordering from CPO. The reconditioned tools are like new and a great deal!

New Vs. Reconditioned

What's the difference between New and Factory-Reconditioned?

Factory-Reconditioned products have been returned to the manufacturer and are restored to like-new operating condition; they go through a rigorous testing and inspection process. Plus, they offer a significant savings vs. new.

Reconditioned products may have minor cosmetic blemishes or scratches that do not affect item performance.

Reconditioned products may not come with all of the consumables the new version comes with (bits, sanding pads/papers, cases, etc.).

Both come with a manufacturer warranty and are covered by our Money Back Guarantee; New is 30 days, Reconditioned is 60 days.
